Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alburtis, PA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Alburtis that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
